What People Are Saying

"My experience at Good Grief Retreats 2023 remains one of the most beautiful weeks of my life to date. Never would I ever have been able to touch such a deep part of myself creatively or to be so vulnerable with those around me without such a lovingly cultivated atmosphere. A truly groundbreaking endeavour that I believe is the future for allowing authentic and grounded artistry to thrive in an increasingly unnatural and difficult industry for creatives.”

— Ryland James

“To be honest, I didn't know what to expect heading into my first Good Grief Retreat. I have participated in thousands of songwriting sessions and dozens of songwriting camps, and typically they all follow the same pattern. GGR was its own beautiful experience that I can confidently say revitalized my curiosity about what it takes to get the best out of a songwriter.

It felt like a complex experience, but to put it simply, Bryn and Kirstyn created an intentional space with types of support and guidance you almost don't know you need until you receive it. From the various therapies to the actual intentional songwriting sessions and all the things in between that make it run so smoothly, it was a chance to just be a songwriter and purely nourish that part of yourself.”
